A devastating accident in Ogden Canyon, Utah, has left the community reeling in shock and grief. Richard David Hendrickson, CEO and president of Lifetime Products, and his 16-year-old daughter Sally, tragically lost their lives in a collision involving a bulldozer.
On July 6, a tow truck carrying a mini bulldozer collided with their GMC pickup on Highway 39, resulting in the bulldozer crashing onto their vehicle. Richard, 57, and Sally succumbed to their injuries at the scene, while two other passengers sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Colleagues and friends are mourning the loss of Richard, a visionary leader and beloved figure in the company and community. His remarkable journey from welder to CEO is a testament to his exceptional talents. Utah Governor Spencer Cox and Lifetime Products founder Barry Mower have extended their condolences, remembering Richard as a trusted friend and exceptional leader.
The tragic incident has sparked discussions on safety measures on Highway 39, with a petition calling for restrictions on larger vehicles on the narrow passageway. The petition has garnered over 1,700 signatures, highlighting the need for enhanced safety measures to prevent future tragedies.
As the community comes together to support the Hendrickson family, we urge everyone to sign the petition and advocate for safer commuting in Ogden Canyon. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and all those affected by this heartbreaking accident.
